Pure Gourmet Gold Saffron is grown in the dry and sunny foothills of eastern Marlborough. The climate in Marlborough closely resembles that of the natural habitat of crocus sativus and consistently produces a saffron of very high quality.
The high quality stigma or thread provides the discerning cook with a key ingredient for a gourmet dish that will delight the senses. Pure zafran (as it is called in the home of saffron, Iran) will produce a golden yellow and develop a flavour and aroma that has tantalised the senses for more than 2000 years. A few Gourmet Gold saffron threads added to your recipes will bring a smile to your face and that of your guests.
In addition to pure saffron threads, Gourmet Gold also produces easy to use saffron products suitable for use by those with passion for their food. These can be ordered on-line or visit us at the Marlborough Farmers Market.
When buying our saffron products you can be assured only the finest ingredients are used, made up in small batches for freshness and high quality results.We stand behind the quality of our products. Each harvest we send a sample of the saffron threads to be tested against the International ISO standard 3632-2, the quality benchmark for saffron spice. Gourmet Gold Saffron consistently results in a Category I rating. This ensures that you, our customer, receive a quality product to use in your recipes.
As with old traditions Gourmet Gold Marlborough hand harvest and process their saffron ensuring an unadulterated sensory experience for those who discover the seductive, golden delights of this romantic spice. Gourmet Gold Saffron products are currently available by direct contact or from our stall at Marlborough Farmers Market.
